Dear colleagues,

I would like to (belatedly) announce the publication of my edited volume on energy justice.  The

book was published by Edward Elgar in late 2018 and should be of interest to those of you who teach or write in the areas of climate, energy or human rights law. 

Please ask your library to order a copy of the book (to hasten the publication of the paperback version).

The book examines energy law and policy through an energy justice lens -- with an emphasis on the green energy transition. Indeed, one of the goals of the book is to ensure that renewable energy projects do not replicate the injustices of the fossil fuel industry -- the creation of sacrifice zones in vulnerable communities. Three of the chapters involve energy development on indigenous lands. An additional chapter (on energy development in Africa) provides a very concrete example of how to conduct a human rights impact assessment of an energy project.

Here is the blurb for the book:

Energy Justice: US and International Perspectives (Edward Elgar, 2018).

(edited by Raya Salter, Carmen G. Gonzalez, and Elizabeth Kronk Warner).

Energy Justice: U.S. and International Perspectives is a pioneering analysis of energy law and policy through the framework of energy justice. While climate change has triggered unprecedented investment in renewable energy, the concept of energy justice and its practical application to energy law and policy remain under-theorized. This volume breaks new ground by examining a range of energy justice regulatory challenges from the perspective of international law, U.S. law, and foreign domestic law. The book illuminates the theory of energy justice while emphasizing practical solutions that hasten the transition from fossil fuels and address the inequities that plague energy systems.

 

Among the first edited volumes to focus wholly on the emerging field of energy justice, this book takes a multidisciplinary approach that examines energy law and policy through the lens of environmental justice, climate justice, indigenous rights, human rights, and energy democracy. Contributions from prominent scholars and practitioners demonstrate how energy justice frameworks can be applied in theory and practice.

 

Foreword by Dr. Robert Bullard (the grandfather of the US environmental justice movement)

 

Best regards,

Carmen
